'''WOCW-LP''' is a low-powered television station that is licensed to [[Charleston, West Virginia]]. |
|||
==History== |
|||
The station, known as WOWB-LP, began operations not too long after [[WQCW]] (which was [[The WB|WB]] affiliate WHCP-TV at the time) signed on the air in 1998. WOWB was a low-powered translator of WHCP-TV, broadcasting on analog [[UHF]] channel 53. |
|||
WHCP-TV and WOWB-LP also provided programming from The WB’s rival, [[UPN]], starting in 2000. The WB and UPN closed down and merged to form the CW Television Network in September 2006. After joining [[The CW]] in September 2006, WOWB-LP became WOCW-LP on May 26, 2006. On May 31 of that year, WHCP-TV became WQCW, following suit of the call sign change of their translator. |
|||
In 2013, [[Lockwood Broadcasting Group]] sold both stations to Excalibur Broadcasting for $5.5 million. In February 2014, the two stations were sold to Gray Television (owner of [[NBC]] affiliate [[WSAZ-TV]]) after many months of being in a shared services agreement between Lockwood and Gray. |
|||
On January 15, 2015 the station was sold to [[DTV America]] Corporation from the owners of [[WQCW]] for a token payment of [[United States dollar|$]]100.00. Upon completion of the sale, the station will cease its repeater role and be affiliated with a smaller network, which is to be announced. |
